more journal pages

okay so, 3 of these pages is from my spiral notebook journal, I am getting thoughts down on paper and painting over them. this helps me vent and just let go. I'm still hving trouble with the relax and let go thing. you should see me gripping that pencil. the other two large pages are actually one piece inspired by violette of journal bliss. her site is www.violette.ca i can't believe I never mentioned that. I can be so me sometimes. anywho that's everything i think. except for a bit of silliness i may share if i can find it. i really do have to get back to things now, byeeee

journal pages

these are some journal pages before I read Journal Bliss by Violette. i sort of work on many pages at once. drawing images i find on my many net surfing adventures. I also use the spare paint approach so i only use leftover paint from other projects on my journals. which is why the colors are so similar. these journal pages are made from an old desktop calender. each time a month is done i fold it into fourths and make pages. see, i'm green. lol

background papers

I have been trying out Violette's "crazy quilt" background page technique, from her book "Journal Bliss". I don't quite have the desired effect yet but it is quite addicting. i had to make myself stop and get back to the task at hand. anywho, here are a few samples of that.

journal bliss

just read "journal bliss" by violette, couldn't put it down. woke up hella inspired this morning, couldn't wait to try her techniques. totally botched the gel medium transfer but loved everything else i tried. i went to her blog and she has tutorials and workshops. I love her work. I think u will too.
